The response of manganin gauges shock loaded in the 2-D straining mode

Abstract
We measured the response of shock loaded manganin gauges in the two‐dimensional (2‐D) straining mode. This mode, usually achieved by using wire gauges, was obtained for commercial foil‐like gauges emplaced in the transverse configuration. In this configuration the plane of the gauge is perpendicular to the shock front. Measurements of gauge response during shock compression as well as in the release phase are compared to data for 1‐D straining mode. The two geometries yield significantly different responses which are attributed to the viscoplastic properties of the gauge material.
